Psalm 14:1-3 Part 2 of 2

The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. The LORD looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.  

all have become corrupt 
2 Peter 2:4-9  For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard) --if this is so, then the LORD knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.

there is no one who does good 
1 Kings 8:46  "When they sin against you--for there is no one who does not sin--and you become angry with them and give them over to their enemies, who take them captive to their own lands, far away or near; ..."
Psalm 43:2  Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.
Ecclesiastes 7:20  Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.

not even one 
Romans 3:10-12  As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one." [Psalm 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Ecclesiastes 17:20]
